Here are some photos of our 4-H club officers.
Jack looks so serious in the Treasurer seat. These children were our 2007-2008 main officers (president, VP, secretary and treasurer)
The 2008-2009 officers. Seated we have the President, VP, Secretary and Treasurer. Standing are supporting officers, but I can't remember who got what except that Jack will be the Video Coordinator and Katrina will be the Recreation Leader.
Yesterday we attended our first 4-H meeting of the year. Last year was a 'rough year'. We started out with about 50 kids at our get to know you meetings. We have ended up with a group of about 15 kids more or less. We did a lot of good things last year and we had to find our way. The way our 4-H group is set up is that once a month we have a club meeting and once a month we have a class. Elizabeth and Cheri, extension agents in Campbell County, often are in charge of the class. Other days we have field trips or other experts from the community that come and lead the classes. Last year, we spent half of the year learning about electrical stuff. Then the second half of the year, the kids learned about the environment and recycling.
As a project, the group took on raising money to send packages overseas to troops. We raised several hundred dollars with bake sales and a yard sale and the money we raised went to sending packages overseas on three different occasions. We haven't decided what project we will do this year.
Last year was a bit rough as people dropped out. And we had to create our constitution and that took several hours of work on the club officers parts. We had two leaders that had to drop out due to personal situations. But things are looking great for this coming year.
